The weather news tab was not very useful for the East Coast. More than half the results were not in English or ASCII. The results were just spam links in Chinese, Telugu and Russian. The biggest two spam sites seemed to be stcn and ifeng.
Agreed. The problem with GDELT is unless you're in a major city zip, no news will display. Fallsback to state level which includes some of the junk you see. Going to create a whitelist of sites/networks to make it cleaner. There are some good weather news updates from random local sites that GDELT picks up which would be the only sacrifice here.
